Summary:

In the legends of Earthsea, it is said that the wizard and king Erreth-Akbe was defeated by the high priest of the Kargad lands, and his amulet of power, bearing the rune of bonding, was broken and was lost.

Now, in the second book of Earthsea, the wizard Sparrowhawk enters the menacing labyrinth of the Tombs of Atuan to regain the amulet, and restore the rune which will bring peace to all of the islands of Earthsea.

Yet the labyrinth has a guardian, a young priestess named Arha, whose life is dedicated to the dark spirits who inhabit the tombs. She is determined that Sparrowhawk will meet the fate that befell Erreth-Akbe long ago.
